The popular star inside a white roundel was updated with a blue background and white side bars. This pattern was only used for a short period—from June to July 1943—but found widespread use on the European and Pacific fronts, including on such aircraft as the P-47 Thunderbolt, P-51 Mustang, and B-17 Flying Fortress. These markings distinguished American Allied aviation, ensuring better recognition in the air and reducing instances of \"friendly fire.\"\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eContents and Features of the Decal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe decal includes faithfully reproduced USAAF insignia from mid-1943.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHigh print quality – sharp outlines, realistic colors, semi-matte finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEasy application to plastic models using standard decal solutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePerfect fit for numerous types of American aircraft in 1:72 scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eRecommendation and Difficulty Level\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    I recommend Techmod 72413 mainly to intermediate and advanced modelers who value historical accuracy and aesthetic finishing of World War II miniatures.
